Utes, sa very bad Indian. He was
concerned in the celebrated Meeker
massacre in 1879, and was one of the
prime movers in that piece of deviltry,
although he managed to keep in the
background, and when Captain Jack and
Douglass were captured Colorow escap-
ed TO the mountains. His escape from
hanging at that time has cost the settlers
much trouble and property. When
Chief Ouray died in 1880 Colorow was a
candidate for the dead chiefs shoes and

Utes were removed to their present

THE British Ministry, loaded down
with injustice to Ireland, is nearing itt
end. Old as Gladstone is, it will not
outlive him. The British people are al.
ways slow, but in the end they are right
Ireland is part of the British Empire
and always will be, but it must be held
BY the lines of justice and love. The
people can never be tyrannized over
They can never be subjected by the lash
They are too brave for that. The Eng.
lish know it, for the Irish fight the bat.
ties Of England, chiefly. There never
was battlefield where the majority Of
the soldiers fighting for England were
not Irishmen. Ireland, therefore, if il
is to be part of the British Empire,
should be 80 in fact, and not merely in
name. This is Gladstone's idea, and
that is the policy upon which prevailing
differences should be settled II they are
to remain settled.

Sirs: About three months ago, noticing
from Gen. Slevin, in reference to the
cure of his son by the use of Halls
Catrrrh Cure, were induced to com.
mence the use of it for our daughte,
Nellie now fourteen years old, who has
been suffering from catarrh for about
eight years, during which time she has
been treated by one of the best physic-
ians in the city. We have also tried
the use of almost all the known RENE
dies for catarrh, with no more success
than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her, mouth
open to keep her from strangling. Her
hearing had also become affected. We
were afraid that she would never recov-
err. We have now used six bottles of
Halls CArARRH CURE, and we believe
Nellie to be entirely cured. In few
DAYS after commencing the use of it we
noticed decided change for the better,
and from that right along she has inn
proved, until now she breathes as easily
as any one. She sleeps well and her
hearing is perfectly good. We feel that
the disease is entirely removed. We
write this unsolicited letter, feeling that
it is dne you, and withe hope that 9TH
ers may be benefited in like manner.
We can hardly realize that such a
change could be effected in so short q
time after battling with the disease 30

at intervals, as it seems to build up her
system. You are at liberty to use this
in any manner you see proper

IT was always the impression Of good
many people that Civil Service Commits
sioner Edgerton had been a stiff old
Democrat too long to have any real re-
gard for civil service reform. His inter
view published in the Baltimore Sun
goes to strengthen this idea. Mr.. Ed
gerton contends that the civil service
commissioners can do nothing in the
cases of the Philadelphia and Chicago
postmasters who have been guilty of
violations of the civil service law. He
claims that the only power the commits
sion has is to furnish applicants for ap-
pointment Democrats, too, they should
no doubt beg and when they get into the
service once, the power of the commits
sion over their acts end. 1t is needless
to say that no real friend of the reform
takes any such narrow minded view of
the law. But it is easily seen that it is
q very convenient view for the Demo-
cratic member to take.

IT was hardly necessary for Mr.. Curtis
to make the announcement that the
Mugwumps are still going to stand by
President Cleveland. Everybody I'M
derstands that their devotion to Grover
is all the stock in trade they have. By
him they stand or fall. The only trou-
BILE is that Cleveland shows disposition
to tire of their expression Of devotion,
and his evident efforts to shake" them
is what is causing so much CONSERVATION
in the Mugwump camp. They may
have thought threats would bring the
refractory President back to the traces,
but as it begins to be seen more clearly
that he is abandoning them for Higgins,
German, ct al, the sycophants have
changed their tune and resumed their
former attitude of supplIcation.

The Standard Oil com pany has taken
great pains to spread the story that the
crude petroleum found in Ohio was COM
paratively worthless, in that it would
not stand the test of refining. The Ohio
Oil Producers Association recently sent
samples of the oil from the Findlay field
to an Eastern refinery to ascertain
whether the claim of the Standard was
true, or was an assertion made for selfish
purposes. Last Saturday the President
CT the association received report of
the tests, showing the oil to be but a
trife inferior to the Eastern product and
worth as much per barrel for all pur-
poses. The Standard Oil Company might
as well make up its mind to the cold
fact that they win have to operate the
Ohio oil field or let some one else do it.
